| According to the weather report, there is a strong possibility of storms coming through tonight. I decided to take a few pictures of what is blooming in my little yard. The first and maybe only poppy. It is a beautiful orange. Love those ruffled edges. |
 |
| The first rose of summer. It is not the most gorgeous looking, but I will take it. In the past we have tried to have a small rose garden. I did all the things you should do in the fall to have them come back in the spring. I kept loosing them. Two years ago, I decided the heck with it. I just leave them alone in the fall. I don't even dead head them! I now have 4 bushes that keep coming back. Trust me, I do nothing for them. |
 |
| Columbine is in full bloom. I have these deep blue ones, that I love. See I have a hummingbird feeder, in the mad hopes that one will come to my yard. I have some a couple pink, a white, and a wild columbine blooming. None are the beautiful ones with the tails and multi-color. I have planted the, but for some reason they do not come back. |
 |
| We transplanted these four peony bushes from our old house in Roselle. They never grew as big there as they do here. We have had a lot of rain, and they have bent over. All four bushes are at least three feet or more tall. Two are a beautiful peach color, one is two shades of pink, and one is white. The white has not bloomed yet. You can see some are already shedding their blooms. |
 |
| This one is a peach color. |
 |
| Here is the two tone pink. I love this one, as the flower comes in several sizes. |
 |
| This is the other peach one. |
 |
| Look at all the different sizes of blooms on this plant. |
 |
| Here is the rhododendron that we bought in Elma, New York and transported it to this house. It is so nice to be able to drive to visit family. Then I can bring home just about any plant I want! Mary |
